Build a chicken coop at home and read this article to find out. I’ll start off with a quick intro on chicken coops. Chicken coops are used for shelter for the chickens and it give the hens a place to lay eggs. It is important that the chickens have a place they can call their home. You can either have the chickens enclosed in or they can be free range. If there are predators nearby you should keep it enclosed or your chickens will end up as a free lunch to those predators.

Depending on the number of chickens you want, the chicken coop size needs to accommodate that. With about 8 chickens, it will be a medium sized chicken coop. It’s important to note these important features in your chicken coop.

-Have at about 4 to 5 sq. ft of space for each chicken.

-There needs to be at least 2 nests for every 5 chickens.

-Put a 9-10 inch perch length for each of your chickens.

You should keep the above pieces of advice handy. Also make sure that the chicken coop is large enough that it provides storage. The door to the chicken coop should be big enough for the entrance. This ensure that it is easy to access it when you need to clean it. You could also put an optional lock on the door to the chicken coop. Remember that the floor of the chicken coop should have wood shavings on  it for the chickens.
